Menu Matcher - Turkey

Yes, it's coming to that yearly thought of 'how many days to go...?!!'. So while you're hunting around for vital ingredients of brandy butter, prune and chestnut stuffing, icing for the christmas cake etc. let us ease your search for wine that goes perfectly with turkey and the trimmings.

Slowine Merlot, Paul Cluver Estate, Elgin, South Africa

You will find a picture of a Parrot Beaked Tortoise on the wine's label. This rare tortoise is also known as the "padloper" and is mainly found in renosterveld patches in the Kogelberg. The males develop bright red / orange noses during the breeding season which makes them look like "boozy" old men! The tortoise emblem, of course, further accentuates the whole concept of 'slowness'!

Bourgogne Blanc, 2011 Domaine Hudelot Baillet, Burgundy, France

This wine is every bit as rich and vibrantly fruity as many a more expensive Cote de Beaune. The 2010 has a wonderful freshness and vibrant acidity. It is quite weighty for its humble appellation and has an unctuous, toasty, buttery fruitiness which makes it very pleasant to drink on its own or with food.

La Copa Vermouth Love coffee and amaretti biscuits ? Full of nutmeg, cloves, orange peel and angelica flavours this is an aged Vermouth from the century old cellars in Jerez from Gonzalez Byass. A perfect accompaniment.
